Non-commercial only licenses discriminate against fields of endeavor and are definitely not open. See 6 of http://opensource.org/docs/osd or 8 of http://opendefinition.org/okd/. No derivative licenses are also not open - you can't modify the data.
Another explanation is http://freedomdefined.org/Permissible_restrictions#Restrictions_which_are_no t_permissible. CC doesn't claim that any NC or ND license is open either.

Say, CC-non-commercial, Cc-no-derivatives, and a whole bunch of combinations of by, sa, nc, nd? Em you consider them not-open? I'm sure there are more examples, I only know about cc ones.
